America, residiiig'at thecity of Detroit, in and C is the nozzle through which molten 6o the State of Michigan, have invented certain metal is introduced into the mold. '4 new 'and' useful Improvements in Casting- As the present inventionrelates solely to BoXesin Linotype-Machines; and I vdo herethe construction of the mold and the nozzle by declare Vthe following to be afull, clean and their relation to the matrices, all other and exactdescription of my said invention, parts of the machine are omitted from the 65 1o such as will enable cthersskilled in the art description, though they are shown in Fig. 5.

to which it pertains lto make and use the The inold B is formed in two sections c and same. b, both of which are sleeved upon a shaft D,

The invention relates to `machines of that and the section bbeing pinned to the shaft, so character in which both the mold and the as to move therewith. The section c is atv-7o -1f5 nozzle for the molten metal are reciprocated certain times locked to the section b by in yrelation to the alined matrices. Heretofore means ofthe spring-bolt E,having o eratingmachines of that class have been made in lug F. This bolt E lies in a recess E?, formed which the reciprocatorv mold is first moved in portion l, and the lug F, secured to said against the matrices, following which the bolt, works in a slot F.

vze nozzle is engaged with the mold. It has to press' the bolt outwardly into a Slot c', been customary, however, to form the nozzle formed in the portion c, thus locking the porof conical shape and rto provides, correspondtions together. When in locked position, the

ingly-shaped cavity in the ccnterof the mold .sections a and b are together and form the lto receive the nozzle, the jet-opening thereof sides and ends' of the mold for the slug, and 8c 25 bein directed at different angles into the the mold-cavity formed bly these sectionsis mol -cavit'yi As a consequence the molten open at opposite ends ough its entire' metal is obliged to travel a greater distancelength.
